Problem Creating VisualForce QuotePDF

I have created a JavaScript Button to Create quotes automatically. Now I am trying to generate the PDF for the same automatically. My requirement is:-

1) Generate and attach the Quote PDF automatically.
2) Once the PDF is generated, email the Quote PDF automatically to the customer.

For 1: I am writing a visualforce page for generating Quote PDF. The PDF is getting generated but the data related to quote like QuoteNumber is not getting rendered.:-

<apex:page standardController="Quote" showHeader="false" renderAs="pdf" applyhtmltag="false" >

Thanks Anoop. Can this be implemented using standard Quote object? Also can I send the Quote PDF and additional doc as attachment.

Yeah,

You can use standard Quote object instead of Custom object.

Thanks again. The problem while using standard quote object is that the data is not getting rendered on the PDF. For eg:-

I just tried <apex:outputText value="Quote# {!Quote.QuoteNumber}"/>

But the Quote# is printed blank. Am I missing anything here?

Which profile you are using?
Do you have field level access to that fields?
Are you getting any other field value from Quote?

I am working on my company's sandbox using Admin profile. However, I amunable to get any quote details in the page. I am in a fix... Do I need to override the controller? Can't I do with Standard controller?

You should call the visualforce page with valid Quote Id.
You can override or create a new Button.
Use standardcontroller.

Thanks again Anoop. Below is my generatePDF() that calls the Visualforce page. Am I missing anything here? This method gets called after quote and quote line items are inserted.
WebService static void generatePDF(List<Quote> qts){ System.debug('Inside generate pdf'); string TemplateId = '0EH90000000Gdtu'; List<QuoteDocument> sr = new List<QuoteDocument>(); for(Quote q:qts){ //for (Quote q: qts) { //PageReference pr = new PageReference('/quote/quoteTemplateDataViewer.apexp?id='+q.id); // link from answer by techtrekker PageReference pdfPage = Page.quotePDF; //System.debug('Page reference > ' + pr); Blob pdfBlob = pdfPage.getContent(); sr.add (new QuoteDocument( QuoteId = q.Id, document = pdfBlob)); System.debug('Quote Id Document > ' + q.Id); } insert sr; }
